Since the last update (v1.0.85), I am getting all the question pages blank on the Android app. For those who are confused with the image, I'm using RtL (Right-to-Left) layout.

empty question page

If I scroll down (quite a bit) I can see the question. But even then I cannot see the question title, the related comments or answers.

after scrolling down

  • App Version: 1.0.85
  • Device Manufacturer: LGE
  • Device Model: LG-D620
    • OS Version: 5.0.2 (152541901f156)

  • It's not really blank; if you scroll a little bit to the bottom, you can see the question. Did this happen since the latest version (1.0.85) only? I think the app doesn't officially support RtL layout.

  • @andrew Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure about the relation to the last version, but this is a new phenomenon. The application worked normally for me until recently.

  • @andrew p.s. How did you know about the scroll?

  • Trial and error. Btw, I need to clarify something since you modified the title: are you using RtL language or "force RtL layout" in Developer Settings, or in any way? This issue only happens in RtL, if you change to normal layout (e.g. English language), the issue will be mitigated.

  • @Andrew You are right again, it happens only in RTL mode (and how did you know that? :). My phone is set to Hebrew. I haven't used rtl on SE though. And again, the app worked normally (with a few, other small bugs) until recently.

"Fixed" on v1.0.95 beta.

From Google Play's "What's New",

This update fixes our app on right-to-left locale devices -- since the majority of the content is user-generated and in English, the entire app is now left-to-right no matter the locale.

(Emphasis mine)
